I'm assuming the hardcap is 100%, because I'm sat at around 92% with MotW, and I'm not even close to finished with the character's gear.

holy crap what level is that?

and hardcap it dpeents on the level of your enemy,
for equal level enemy's its 75% for softcap (auto attacks) (as your attack will have 25% to be galcing)
and 100% for the hardcap (attack that cant be glacing) basicly all your abilities

i think the caps move up by 1% for each level your opponent is higher then you

80. Final gear will easily be crit capped (my chardev is showing 86% without bearform, and windsong procs around 50% >.>) Trying to decide what I should use for a weapon enchant too, is colossus a good option?

They've fixed most of what was broken, and I've compared values ingame (Armory vs Chardev). Only thing that chardev doesn't have accurate is guardian armor. My set is something like 198k which is 95% according to chardev (obviously wrong).

I'm assuming we're talking level 85 or something here, because the numbers you're describing are not possible outside of a Rune proc.

Normally I would agree with you but not if you are within 3-4 weeks of getting the 5.3 cloaks. Why would you waste valor on a cloak if you are close to replacing it with an ilvl 600 version?

IMO that's inefficient given that guardians have 15 slots to upgrade over the next month. Even if you were valor capped and upgraded 6 items on patch day, that still leaves you 9 slots to upgrade excluding any other new pieces you also get along the way.

Cloaks give the lowest amount of armor via upgrades vs other "armor" pieces, so you shouldn't be considering it until weeks 3 or 4 if that is your goal. Additionally, If you weren't having issues staying alive before, then missing the increased armor from the cloak wont have a significant impact wile you work towards the 5.3 one.

It's 500 Valor. Hard to call that a waste when you can fully upgrade 2 items a week.

Plus, you have no way of knowing exactly how close/far you are away from getting your cloak. If you know for 100% you will not replace your Rings/Neck before getting your cloak (ie. Heroic Thunderforged) then sure, do them first.

Otherwise you're just skipping free mitigation in order to save 500 valor you're going to lose anyway when you replace your jewelry.
